When were you born in relation to the introduction of the Maverick

I was born in 1989, and got my mav in the 2006.

 

and BTW I was bornded in May 1969 so I am about at "historic" as the Maverick and a little more Historic than the Maverick Grabber.....

I was born too late for The 60's and Woodstock and just in time for bell bottoms and leisure suits . Just the right age for my first car to be a used and dirt cheap Maverick.. When I first starting driving you could have just about any ole Used Maverick on the road for a few hundred bucks, Now you gotta buy a whole parts car if you can find one because some of the parts for the darn things are more $$$ then I sold my first complete and Original matching # Grabber for ($450)

I like the fact that people are restoring these cars to a Glory and Respect level that they hardly got when new on the car lots but man I wish the supply was a little closer to the demand.....so the $$$$ weren't quite so high for the more rare parts like trim pieces and Sport Mirrors and stuff

 

I was born in 58 and lived down the street from the man that bought my 74 new. i was 16 and he would, HAHA let? me? wash the car an drive it down to the 7.11 to get him sig,s. and i was a friend of the old man for years. The car sat an sat for years till old james past away. At that time the family called me and said, the car is yours if you can help us with two or three hundred dollars.
Had 79000 thousand miles.

I just love telling this story

 

More like a Fairlane I almost bought a nice 66 comet caliente 289 4 speedcar

 

In the 70,s mav,s with a three on the tree and a six cylinder, were like disposable lighters. you use it up. Then go get one more.
